MR SOLDIER

Mr soldier 
Drop your weapon, your gun
Here is not a war zone but a city
Use your wisdom, ain't you educated 
Harassing a civilian, instead of protecting them
Your duty is detecting the criminals not a commoner. 

Mr soldier 
You're not stronger than the people 
You're only armed and authorize not the mighty 
Drop your arrogance, it's not important 
Stop the intimidation and pick up humility.

Mr soldier
I've got so much respect for you 
Defending and protecting our nation 
From oppositions even amidst dangers
But I despise oppression 
Humiliating an innocent citizen.
